Elon and Rogan Roast ‘Pencil Neck Geek’ Bezos for Getting ‘Jacked’
The Amazon founder bulked up in 2017.
Elon Musk and Joe Rogan suggested that Jeff Bezos’ muscly physique might be partially due to testosterone injections.
The 61-year-old Amazon founder and Washington Post owner is “definitely doing some testosterone,” Rogan, 58, claimed on his podcast Friday. “He looks jacked—quick,” Rogan added suggestively, with Musk laughing and repeating that word.
Musk, 54, said Bezos “went from pencil-necked geek to looking like The Rock.”
“Like a little miniature alpha fella,” Rogan added.
“Like his neck got bigger than his head,” Musk continued, “but then, like his earlier pictures, his neck is like a noodle... and his voice dropped like two octaves.”

Bezos’ physique change is not new, though; he garnered attention for his buff appearance in 2017.

Bezos’ physical change is said to have been spurred by Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods in 2017.
